“He was a big deal in TV, but at home he was an even ‘bigger than life’ husband and dad,” Bill‘s family shared in a statement to Variety. “He had a genuine love for television and entertainment. He would try everything and did it well—screenwriting, recording podcasts, playing guitar, writing songs, and loved a wide range of music from country to jazz.”
Bill worked in TV production for years, primarily for ABC, and launched The View alongside the late Barbara Walters in 1997.
He received four Emmy awards for the daytime talk show and served as executive producer for 17 years before his departure in 2014.
“His favorite band was The Beatles,” Bill‘s family continued in their statement. “And he never thought he would have the opportunity to meet one of his personal heroes Paul McCartney in person, but his dream came true. The question wasn’t who did he meet, but rather who didn’t he meet?”
His family added, “He enjoyed connecting with people, and we know we are not the only ones who will miss his encouraging way of positive guidance. He did so with enthusiasm mixed with sarcasm. His special style of humor was filled with puns. He believed in honesty. He was a kind man of integrity and always wanted to do the right thing. He lived by example.”
Our thoughts are with Bill Geddie‘s loved ones during this difficult time. RIP.
